No, it’s the Jemez wilderness in New Mexico.  Right next to Valles Caldera, outside White Rock.

I paid $5500 for this one, then spent about $30k on it to get it to the state above.

I occasionally navigate the ocean-going vessel on the right:

It’s a brand new car, presumably with comprehensive coverage on it. I would file a claim through my insurance, then let them deal with subrogation.

Oh, I should mention that in my ownership, it hit the coveted “2BOOBS” mile marker.

It’s not that far out of the question, just depends on what else is going on in there.

I bought one of these for $11k in May of 2019.

Wait a second, the Russian dude is saying that your oil pressure drops when the filter media gets full? What kind of cut-rate crap is he using that doesn’t have a bypass valve?

I bought my kids a 1969 Datsun 1600 roadster.

I read “RS3-specific parts” as “Audi will sell these for about 2 years after the production run, then you’re SOL unless you live somewhere that Audi Traditions services”.

Audi is the worst about supporting their cars after the fact. I have an absolutely encyclopedic parts fiche for my C4 S6, full of parts that are NLA,…

Not every manufacturer has perfected the Audi “Service Position” for the front bumper and fascia like VW/Audi have.

Not watching a 30 minute video, but don’t the wire ears on that nipple (visible inside the battery casing) mean that it’s field-replaceable?

Given how Dodgy electrics have pretty much defined my Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth experience over the last 20 years, I’m going to steer well clear.

I’ve been rocking a 325HP AWD wagon in the ‘States for a while now.

My brain is in New Mexico, where the literacy rate is somewhere around 80%, so 1 out of 5 can’t manage it even when awake.

You can fit 13" brakes under most 17" wheels.  Those are pretty beefy, unless you’re driving an ocean liner.

As opposed to real life, where people are able to spell and read with aplomb?

Yeah, that’s definitely a valid reason to downsize wheels. You’ll forgive me for being a Luddite (since all my cars are from before the turn of the century), but don’t the performance Mustangs all come with 19 and 20" wheels now?

I don’t hate it, but I’m struck by how small they look as compared to the stock 18" wheels that come with the Mustang now.

Already signed up for the annual Z car owners convention in Colorado Springs in August.
